Pile it On Challenge # 10 Pastels

Hi,
Hope you've all had a good weekend,

I spent yesterday with my lovely sister, we started making some small Easter gifts for my grandaughter to give out at the mums and tots group that I take her to. I'ts her birthday on the 26th and she's leaving to start nursery after the Easter break. I'll show them when they are finished!!

This is my card for the following challenges:
Pile it On - the theme is Pastels and to get your creation on to at least one other challenge.
Magnolia  Down Under - It's their 1st birthday day,   "Happy Birthday!" so you can guess the theme. They have a brilliant blog hop to follow with candy along the way!!!  My card has a Magnolia background.
Crafty Creations - to make your own flowers
My Time To Craft - Kidz Cards
Ooh la la Creations chall 49 - anything goes

I loved making the tent card so much I thought I would use it for this children's birthday card and have the teddies hanging in the window, there's a fabulous tutorial here
The apperture was cut with Nestabilities rectangle plain and scallop.
I used Magnolia summer background and coloured it with Copic markers.
The  gorgeous teddies stamp is by Elzybells and the designer paper is by Kay & Co
Sentiment, oval punch and scallop oval by Stamping Up
I punched the flowers from more of the paper and joined the card at the top with brads. I covered the back with the designer paper to cover the brads.

 Thanks so much for stopping by,
Love Cherie   //*.*\\

Special Monthly Challenge Just Magnolia

Good morning friends,

The special monthly challenge at Just Magnolia is a tent card.There's a fabulous tutorial to follow to make this gorgeous card, hop over and have a look.
I am also entering the following challenges.
 Magnolia Down Under which is a recipe of 3 papers 3 flowers 2 buttons and 1 bow.
Cupcake Craft who's theme is flower power
Roses on paper to make something for Easter.

 I really enjoyed making this card although it wasn't without a problem. I stuck the front paper on, cut the apperture then realised I could see the folded piece in the window. No problem i'll draw the shape and trim it sorted. Then I stuck the back paper before the folded piece so had a pink strip on my cream dotty paper!!!something else showing in the window.
 One thing we crafters are good at is covering up mistakes, another paper that matched the colours cut with my Martha Stewart doylie punch, and as if by magic pink was replaced with a row of Easter eggs.
  I got there in the end love it so much  i'm going to make another one for a  challenge tomorrow.

The double sided flower paper is by Making Memories, garden party.
 My cover up my mistake paper with the eggs on is by Papermania spring time.
I coloured the Tilda with rabbit stamp by Magnolia with Copics and Promarkers
Flowers are from  Wild Orchid Crafts my prize from the just magnolia win they are soooo fabulous, I am so lucky.

The only problem with posting in the early hours is being tied and pressing the wrong key  it posted before
I wanted it to. I was getting it ready for the morning when I could take my photo. Aw well!!!

Love to you all
Cherie   //*.*\\
